Chapter 386: Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke, Tartar Army Arrives!
Outside Gyeongju City.
A military general was standing on the city gate, staring into the distance with a very serious face.
After a long time, he spoke:
"How long will the Tatars arrive?"
The adjutant next to him looked at the sky and estimated before answering:
"According to the scouts, I'm afraid it's going to be two or three hours away."
The military general was silent for a while, and sighed slightly:
"The people in the city have been evacuated, right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to feign defeat and lure the enemy deeper, but don't go wrong in this regard."
The adjutant general said calmly:
"It's all evacuated, now it's up to us to see if the main force of the Tatars comes from us or from Yingchang."
"The Shenji Battalion just came with the news not long ago, they have rushed to Quanning, laid a defensive line, and are waiting for us to lead the Tatars to rush into the pocket formation."
The general nodded, did not speak again, on the march and fighting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always had outstanding achievements, this time it depends on how the Tatars bring about their own destruction. qδ.net
On the steppe, countless Tatars were rushing to the march, bringing up countless smoke and dust.
The little Tatar prince headed by him whipped his horse, and his mood was extremely agitated.
"Pass the order, let the striker go faster! We must rush to the city of Ningzhou with lightning speed, and catch those Ming dogs off guard!"
Since learning that the Ming Emperor Zhu Di was seriously ill and was about to die, there had been endless debates in Tatar.
Previously, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxian went out to conquer Mobei, not only beating the Tatars to the ground, but Zhu Gaoxian also personally killed the leader of Wara, Mahamu, which made the entire Mobei grassland panic for a while.
However, a few years later, with the ascension to the throne of the original Tatar Taishi Arutai, the resting Tatar country began to move again, and these little princes also hoped to strengthen their own strength through military victories again.
After all, the current Da Ming seems to be a little bloated and busy, and he shouldn't be able to spare his hands to resist them......
Coupled with the fact that the Taishi Warat was dehappy, the son of Mahamu was bent on attacking the Ming Dynasty for revenge, so the two sides hit it off, which led to this large-scale southward move to attack the Ming Dynasty together.
"Prince," said one of his cronies in a loud voice.
"Ming Dog is extremely cunning and hiding in the city, should we slow down and line up our troops before attacking?"
The whip in the little prince's hand snapped and roared:
"Soldiers, you're fast! We are going to take the Ming people by surprise, and the Tatar warriors will let them know what terror is!"
He remembered the news secretly sent by those Ming merchants some time ago, and he couldn't help but sneer on his face.
The more chaotic these Ming people are infighting, the better, it is best to let the Ming prince be completely dragged down, and he can calmly command the Tatar army and sweep the entire north!
Today's Tatars, after decades of cultivation and recuperation, coupled with the continuous secret trading with those Ming merchants, already have hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, and the soldiers are strong and strong, so why should they stay in the northern grasslands and suffer from the cold?
The warm and rich south should not be occupied by those Ming people who are as weak as cattle and sheep, but should be ruled by their Tatars!
Thinking of this, the little prince of Tatar once again sped up the speed of the horse, for them, the front of Gyeongju is just a small city, as long as the army quickly kills, a small city will have no power to resist, hurry up and rush into the pass, all the way to the Ming Jingshi is the right reason!
Let the prince of the Ming Kingdom take a look, the one who destroys the Ming, the Tartar also!
Soon, with his order, the speed of the entire Tatar army increased by a few points, and swept away with billowing dust and smoke, as if an evil dragon with a bloody mouth was born, and killed Gyeongju with great ferocity!
"It's coming!"
The military general standing on the city wall of Gyeongju suddenly turned grim after seeing the smoke and dust in the distance.
These Tatars came so quickly
!
"Is it the main force of the Tatars?"
The lieutenant ordered someone to bring the scout who had just escaped back to him, and asked in a deep voice:
"How did the Tatars come so fast? According to the previous report, it should be another two hours for them to arrive?"
The scouts were also frightened, they were originally scattered, monitoring the movements of the Tatars from afar, but they never expected that the Tatar army did not know what was going on, and suddenly sped up!
The Tatar cavalry at the forefront suddenly accelerated their charge and began to hunt and kill the Ming scouts in front of them!
Where are these lightly armed scouts who are the opponents of the Tatars? Immediately they were killed and scattered, and many of their comrades died at the hands of the Tatar cavalry!
That is, their group of brains turned quickly, and when they saw that the signs were wrong, they turned around and fled, relying on their geographical familiarity to escape with their lives.
"You say the Tatars suddenly picked up speed?"
The general defending the city was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he thought about it, could it be that his side is the main direction of attack of the Tatars?
If this is the case, then the pressure on your side will be great.
However, he was ready for everything, so he was only slightly stunned, and immediately began to command.
"Light all the wolf smoke for me!"
"All the archers go to the battlements and prepare, and the wood and rolling stones, as well as the oil and gold juice, are all ready for me!"
"Each team is lined up according to its own defense!"
"Give Lao Tzu a twelve-point spirit! The Tatars are about to be killed!"
At his command, the city walls suddenly began to become busy, and the black and straight wolf smoke was lit one after another, standing in the wind, and the sergeants came to their respective defensive positions.
The general defending the city looked at the Tatar army in the distance, couldn't help touching his head, turned his head and said to the lieutenant general beside him:
"This time we are lucky, it seems that the main force of the Tatars is planning to open the opening from Gyeongju and feint from other places."
The adjutant general also stared at the Tatar army in the distance for a long time, and his face was a little silent:
"General Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's military order requires us to put some pressure on the Tatars, and to be like the real thing when they are defeated, so that they can bite us tightly and get into their pockets."
"Although the people inside and outside the city have been evacuated, with the current strength of the Tatars, it will be very difficult for us to retreat in one piece......
The military general surnamed Chen glanced at his subordinate and said lightly:
"Did you know now?"
"If there is no sacrifice, if we can't beat the Tatars, how can they bite us and hold on?"
He patted the lieutenant on the shoulder, and his tone was resolute:
"If you can't bear the child, you can't trap the wolf!"
